Overview

This node operation retrieves the Debian package distribution release information for a specific group in GitLab. It is useful for users who want to access metadata about Debian package distributions managed within a GitLab group, such as the distribution codename or suite details. For example, a DevOps engineer might use this to automate fetching package release data for deployment or auditing purposes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch the Debian distribution release info for group 'my-group' with distribution 'buster' to verify package versions before deployment.
  2. Automate monitoring of Debian package releases in a GitLab group to trigger CI/CD pipelines.
